- Executive summary:
The study was performed to OECD TG 404 and EU Method B.4 in accordance with GLP to assess the primary skin irritancy potential of the test item in New Zealand White rabbits. Following single 4-Hour, semi-occluded applications to the intact rabbit skin. 0.5 ml of the test material was introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and placed in position on the clipped skin to assess the irritancy potential of the test item. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. After 4 hours of exposure to the test substance, the patches were removed, and individual dose sites were scored at approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours. A single 4-Hour, semi occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of two rabbits produced very slight erythema at one treated skin site 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. Mean scores for following grading at 24, 48 and 72h were 0.7, 0.7 and 0 in erythema and eschar and 0 in all for the edema scoring criteria. Under the conditions of the study, the substance is not considered to be a skin irritant.

Under the conditions of this study and under the Globally Harmonized Classification System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), the LD50 cut-off value was considered to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight. The test item caused only mild transient irritation (score = 2) on day 2 which was then slight (score 1) on days 3, 4 and fully reversed by day 7. The test item was not considered to be skin irritating.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed according to OECD TG 402 and EU Method B.3 Acute Toxicity (Dermal) and in accordance with GLP to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test substance in the Wistar HanRcc: WIST (SPF) strain rat. A group of ten animals (five males and five females) was given a single, 24 hour, semi-occluded dermal application of the diluted test item in PEG 300 vehicle to intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. There was no mortality during the study. There were no signs of system toxicity or abnormalities on necropsy. Animals showed expected gains in body weight. Minimal signs of dermal irritation were noted (score 2) at day 2 and (score 1) days 4 to 5 or 6, which had fully reversed at day 7. The dermal LD50 was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw in male/female Wistar HanRcc: WIST (SPF) rat. Under the conditions of this study, and according to the GHS criteria, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight. The test item was not considered to be skin irritating.

Mean scores per organism at 24, 48 and 72h:
Erythemea/Escar Formation:
1: total = 2.0 ; mean score = 0.7
2: total = 2.0 ; mean score = 0.7
3: total = 0.0 ; mean score = 0.0
Edema Formation:
1: total = 0.0 ; mean score = 0.0
2. total = 0.0 ; mean score = 0.0
3: total = 0.0 ; mean score = 0.0
Applicant assessment indicates: within local effects the test item caused only mild transient irritation (score = 2) on day 2 which was then slight (score 1) on days 3, 4 and fully reversed by day 7. When the sites were re-shaved on day 8 this led to score = 1 slight irritation and scaling that persisted to the end of the observation period. This was clearly not a test item related effect, as the effects had already reversed on day 7 in all males/females (information provided in the full study report). The OECD TG 404 test guideline for skin irritation specifies that clipping of the fur is done at the start of the test and to attempts are to minimise abrasion of the skin which can interfere with assessment. It appears that the effects post day 8 were the result of a deviation for the reading of local effects which made fully reversed effects re-appear at the treated sites. Expert judgement indicates these were non-test item related effects.

- Executive summary:
The study was performed to OECD TG 405 and EU Method B.5 under GLP to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the eye following a single application in the New Zealand White rabbit. A volume of 0.1 ml of the test material was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three animals. The other eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment. A single application of the test material to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced no corneal effects. Iridial inflammation was noted in one treated eye 1 hour and 24 hours after treatment although was absent at 48 hours observation. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in treated eyes 1 hour through to 24 hours after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted at the 48 hour observation. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 72 Hours observation. Under the conditions of this study, the test substance is not considered to be irritating to the eye.

Additional information
Skin Irritation:
Key study : In vivo, OECD TG 404, 2007 : The study was performed to OECD TG 404 and EU Method B.4 in accordance with GLP to assess the primary skin irritancy potential of the test item in New Zealand White rabbits. Following single 4-Hour, semi-occluded applications to the intact rabbit skin. 0.5 ml of the test material was introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and placed in position on the clipped skin to assess the irritancy potential of the test item. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. After 4 hours of exposure to the test substance, the patches were removed, and individual dose sites were scored at approximately 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours. A single 4-Hour, semi occluded application of the test item to the intact skin of two rabbits produced very slight erythema at one treated skin site 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. Mean scores for following grading at 24, 48 and 72h were 0.7, 0.7 and 0 in erythema and eschar and 0 in all for the edema scoring criteria. Under the conditions of the study, the substance is not considered to be a skin irritant.
Supporting study : In vivo, OECD TG 402, 2008 : The study was performed according to OECD TG 402 and EU Method B.3 Acute Toxicity (Dermal) and in accordance with GLP to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test substance in the Wistar HanRcc: WIST (SPF) strain rat. A group of ten animals (five males and five females) was given a single, 24 hour, semi-occluded dermal application of the diluted test item in PEG 300 vehicle to intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. There was no mortality during the study. There were no signs of system toxicity or abnormalities on necropsy. Animals showed expected gains in body weight. Minimal signs of dermal irritation were noted (score 2) at day 2 and (score 1) days 4 to 5 or 6, which had fully reversed at day 7. The dermal LD50 was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw in male/female Wistar HanRcc: WIST (SPF) rat. Under the conditions of this study, and according to the GHS criteria, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.
Applicant assessment indicates: within local effects the test item caused only mild transient irritation (score = 2) on day 2 which was then slight (score 1) on days 3, 4 and fully reversed by day 7. When the sites were re-shaved on day 8 this led to score = 1 slight irritation and scaling that persisted to the end of the observation period. This was clearly not a test item related effect, as the effects had already reversed on day 7 in all males/females (information provided in the full study report). The OECD TG 404 test guideline for skin irritation specifies that clipping of the fur is done at the start of the test and to attempts are to minimise abrasion of the skin which can interfere with assessment. It appears that the effects post day 8 were the result of a deviation for the reading of local effects which made fully reversed effects re-appear at the treated sites. Expert judgement indicates these were non-test item related effects. The test item would not be considered to be skin irritating. The test item is capable of causing transient mild irritation to the skin.
Eye Irritation:
Key study : In vivo, OECD TG 405, 2007 : The study was performed to OECD TG 405 and EU Method B.5 under GLP to assess the irritancy potential of the test material to the eye following a single application in the New Zealand White rabbit. A volume of 0.1 ml of the test material was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of three animals. The other eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment. A single application of the test material to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced no corneal effects. Iridial inflammation was noted in one treated eye 1 hour and 24 hours after treatment although was absent at 48 hours observation. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in treated eyes 1 hour through to 24 hours after treatment with minimal conjunctival irritation noted at the 48 hour observation. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 72 Hours observation. Under the conditions of this study, the test substance is not considered to be irritating to the eye.
Respiratory Irritation:

Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance does not meet classification criteria under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 for dermal irritation.
The substance does not meet classification criteria under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 for eye irritation.
For skin irritation, further in vitro skin corrosion testing does not need to be conducted based on the available information allowing a definitive conclusion on the classification of the substance. The substance does not demonstrate significant skin irritation potential necessary for classification and labelling within an available skin irritation in vivo assay (OECD TG 404) and supporting acute dermal toxicity study (OECD TG 402) at 2000 mg/kg bw dose level. The substance can cause transient mild irritation but which is not sufficient for classification and labelling.
For eye irritation, the weight of evidence indicates that the substance has the potential to cause transient irritating effects to the eye but which is not sufficient for classification based on the mean scoring and evaluation of the results in three organisms demonstrating that the EU criteria had not been met. Effects in vivo on corneal opacity and iritis are low to non-existent and conjunctival effects are low to moderate which fully reversed within 72 hours; the overall evidence is indicative of moderate but transient and reversible effects on the eye.
